Kyle Hamilton:
Erm, I must ask this. Are you proposing to manage Mozilla's CA
approval process as though it were a CA itself?
No, not at all. I'm talking about a management utility in order to make
our life's easier, simply as that, nothing more than that. Governing EV
should be more or less a thing of "click-and-forget" until next year....
The entire inclusion (and removal) process must be somehow better
controlled in one location, in such a way that it's manageable. I'm
enough involved in order to claim that currently it's rather burdensome
and unpractical. More than that, I think the front-end should have a
proper place to submit inclusion requests, add documents etc. (much in
the way bugzilla does), however not bug and developer orientated, but CA
orientated (what's this bug-thing again over at Mozilla? ;-) ). It
should also have pages which allows to track, view, compare CAs (in a CA
specific manner) publicly. Those would be similar to the ever-incomplete
pending and include pages.
Once that tools is updated, it should be snatch to manage everything,
not wasting time with updating pages, finding CAs which are up for
inclusion (and forgotten so many times), controlling EV audits
etc...well, simply structuring this thing....
Again, I'm offering it to Mozilla free of charge within a reasonable
time (and the option to shape and adjust it, that's important mostly for
Frank and Gerv). Not insisting on it....take it or leave it :-)
Besides, perhaps Mozilla wants to build something like this on its own,
which would be fine with me as well...just get something done here, I
feel like in the digital stone age sometimes ;-)
